Bedard tallied a goal and an assist in the Hawks' 3-1 victory Wednesday, extending his point streak to eight consecutive games. Petr Mrazek and Seth Jones stepped up, too.

This was already going to be a difficult road trip for the Colorado Avalanche, with the two teams ahead of them in the Central Division standings looming. Losing to the club at the bottom of the division certainly didn’t help.

Connor Bedard had a goal and an assist, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1. Frank Nazar and Ilya Mikheyev also scored for Chicago, which had lost six of seven.
